This Easter weekend will witness the annual Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race and so we are giving you all the information you need to know for this momentous event.

The Cancer Research UK Boat Race Programme

Oxford and Cambridge will be battling it out on the River Thames this Sunday for the 162nd Cancer Research Boat Races. Ladies will compete first, followed by the men’s for what is always an ore-some race. Last year the Oxford wave came crashing down on their rivals, sealing victories in both races, but will they triumph again this time round? Who knows. But Event have everything you need to know to talk the lingo when watching the event.

Event experienced 5 days of rip-roaring cycling action which rocked the Velodrome stands and saw Britain finish in glory.

The last couple of days have been a roller coaster of a ride down at LeoValley Park as Event were the official merchandisers for the UCI 2016 Track Cycling World Championships. As Team GB raced to glory, so did we. We provided a spectrum of sporting goods for cycling fans across 5 days of intense track racing. The web shop is still online and proving popular so get your stuff quick!

Laura Trott Track Cycling 2016

Within the last couple of days, the British Cycling Team has not put a wheel wrong and has come out victorious. Laura Trott notably won 2 gold medals whilst Sunday witnessed the return of Britain’s dynamic duo. Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish sent BRITs fans crazy as they provided a stunning victory to give Team GB a total of 5 gold medals.

It was a fantastic 5 days and fans will be happy to see Team GB in impressive form with just 5 months till the Olympics in Rio, which Event are also doing the merch for.

Lets reverse back to the first weekend in February where Event were zooming round Buenos Aires in Argentina, South America, for Formula-E. Then the next day we flew all the way back to London, got a quick train to the trendy Camden town to sell some merch for the 2016 Super bowl. It was kinda a good excuse to watch and cheer on too…

Then we had two amazing weekends with the British Athletics in Glasgow and Sheffield, selling a range of products for the fans.

Now we are in March, (already?!) and we have already witnessed success at UCI 2016 World Track Championship. We would like to congratulate Laura Trott who produced a thrilling win in the women’s surge race at the roaring velodrome. We still have a weekend of breathtaking cycling to come with the likes of Sir Bradley Wiggins still to feature- we have named our teddy bear after the Olympic and Tour De France champ. Take a look here.

Plus Mr Murray is back in action for Great Britain in the Davis Cup hosted in Birmingham. There are thousands of British fans are cheering on the team wearing our #BacktheBrits t-shirts. C’MON ANDY! He’s in winning form- who’s the daddy 😉

Event took a trip to the capital to what was an intuitive conference offering advice and the opportunity to network with a variety of brands and suppliers alike.

At the Barbican in London, The Sedex Conference 2016 brought today around 1000 leaders in responsible sourcing, with the aim of simplifying supply chain sustainability. It went down as one of the world’s largest responsible sourcing conference this year.

Sourcing can be a tricky realm of work, with the risk of overcomplicating things. #Sedex16 was an inspection and digestion into how to identify connections and simplify approaches to supply chain sustainability in the best way possible. The 2 day event was a chance for leaders from all over the globe to hear from organisations at all levels of the supply chain, government, the third sector and more. There were insightful workshops, intriguing plenary sessions, superb spotlight talks and the chance for leaders to network efficiently.

Representing Event at the Barbican was our director Paul Goldsmith who said:

“we take our supply chain very seriously and we are working closely with our factories to make sure our stock is actioned ethically and sustainably, so the conference proved helpful in gaining further information and advice on fulfilling this.”
